True or False?

Purebred cats are always healthier than mixed breeds.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

For eight years, Francine the cat has been the unofficial mascot of a Lowe’s store in Richmond, Virginia. She’s greeted shoppers, patrolled aisles, and charmed everyone she’s met.

When she suddenly went missing in September, the entire community mobilized to find her. Thermal drones scanned the skies, cameras were checked, and even professional trackers joined the search. Weeks later, a security camera at a North Carolina distribution center, 85 miles away, spotted a familiar feline face.

After a late-night rescue, Francine was safely trapped and reunited with her team. The moment she saw them, she let out one big meow: half greeting, half scolding.

Now back at her home store, Francine has resumed her favorite job: welcoming customers and reminding everyone that family isn’t just human. It’s whoever shows up when you’re lost.

With their plush, silky coats and mellow personalities, Ragamuffins are sometimes called “teddy bears with whiskers.” These affectionate cats love being held, following their people from room to room, and even playing fetch.

Despite their luxurious coats, Ragamuffins are surprisingly easy to care for. A quick brush once or twice a week keeps them looking their best. They adapt easily to most homes, get along with kids and other pets, and are happiest when they’re part of the family action.

Bred from Ragdolls and Persians, Ragamuffins are gentle, intelligent, and loyal. They thrive on attention but can become lonely if left alone too long. With the right care and plenty of love, these gentle giants can live up to 18 years and fill every one of them with purrs and cuddles.

Every cat lover dreams of that first moment: opening the carrier, seeing a tiny face, and hearing that first happy purr. But for too many, that dream turns into heartbreak when a breeder turns out to be fake.

Scams are sadly common. Websites vanish, deposits disappear, and photos are stolen. Before you commit, always ask for live video proof, verified health papers, and a written contract. Avoid sellers who pressure you to pay quickly or offer big discounts for sending money right away.

A safe adoption should feel transparent, calm, and clear. Trusted breeders will gladly show where their kittens are raised, share vet records, and explain every step of the process. When everything checks out, you can focus on what really matters: bringing home a healthy, happy kitten who already feels like family.

Veterinarians nationwide reported that corporate managers pushed clinics to focus on profit, with vets often paid based on revenue. This encouraged them to see more pets, order more tests, and upsell services, creating a growing burden for uninsured pet owners. Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement. View Money’s top pet insurance picks to see plans starting at only $10/month.
